The Educator novel Chapter 24

Elliot smiles, “What? You cried in the bathroom?”

I closed my eyes and I nodded in embarassment, “Yes, yes I did. I cried so loud in the bathroom that one of the PR girls came out from her cubicle to soothe me. Then, my mom came in and asked me to fix myself. She retouched my make-up and then I went out of the bathroom with her” I continue to tell. Elliot starts laughing really hard and I was annoyed. I pushed his shoulders and he was still laughing.

“Stop!” I tell him but I was still laughing myself. “So then, the whole night I was not even listening to the speeches, I wasn’t able to enjoy the food and wasn’t able to mingle. I was a mess that night” I tell him.

Elliot finally settles from laughing, “Wait, why did you and you boyfriend break-up that time?”

I leaned back and blew a breath. I looked out and tried to remember what the whole issues was back then. “I think it was about me not being able to balance the relationship, school and being involved in the family business. He found it maybe stressful? I don’t know” I say. I shrug and sigh a little.

“Was that your first heartbreak?” he asks.

I nod, “Well, we all have our firsts. How about you? I read somewhere that someone claims you had their baby?” I raise the issue to him.

He sighs, “You read that huh?”
